I wish they'd taught me this at school.
*What being yourself actually means (and how to do it)
*How to live with that inner critic (you know that sucky voice we all have)
*How to deal with big events and emotions (without suppressing it)
*That I am unique and no-one else has the answers (for me)
Instead I left school with some artificial grades on a certificate, pretty low self-esteem (school never gave me the message I was good at anything - just 'wasting potential') and no real clue about what my feelings meant or how to express them. I didn't know how to look after my own wellbeing and I battled depression and suicidal thoughts. Ugh.
As an adult I learned (the hard way) how we feel about ourselves may be the biggest player in our overall happiness, emotional wellbeing and enjoyment of life.
Yet we never give our teens the time, space and guidance on how to get to know themselves, how to improve the stuff they want to, how to accept the stuff that is, how to live with that monkey mind and really, just how to be a human on this planet and live a good life.
Instead we fill their lives with shoulds and musts and judgements and expectations and social media streams of impossible ideals and then we wonder why they are miserable? What the AF?

ALL GOOD
How to love your life when you have to go to school and shit like that
For Teens: Go from Struggling & Low Self Esteem and Wondering What the Point of Life Is to feeling In Control of Your Life, More Confident & Happy
We need more adult voices lifting teens, encouraging them, cheerleading them, telling them they are ok, telling them that there is nothing wrong with them, telling them they have skills and talent, telling them they are important, telling them they are loved.
Guiding teens and providing the space for them to find out and become who they are. To love who they are. To understand how their brain works and their own unique recipes for happiness and success.
This program is that.
A safe place for teens to learn about who they are in the world.
And learn practical tools for being a good (and happy) human on this planet. Just stop and imagine a world full of happy people. What would the world look like?
Thank you so much for this course. I have loved it so much and have found myself feeling a lot more calm. I really liked the activities and the video's were engaging and helpful too. Overall it was great.

THIS COURSE IS INCREDIBLE!!! Starting this course has made my day. Your videos are so relatable, and I love how you added a few of your own personal experiences! Thank you so much for making this. It's so helpful, and it feels good to know that there are other people who go through the same thing that I do. I can't wait to continue!

I liked how calm Belinda was and how she related the stuff she said to personal experiences. The videos were short but informative and the action sheets were easy. They made me think about my emotions more. I liked the course a lot.

3
BULLSHIT BELIEFS

We've been handed a recipe for life and being human that doesn't work for everyone. Plus we gathered a whole lots of beliefs like 'I'm no good at maths' along the way. We'll look at why these aren't true and what you can do to change them.
4
FEELING HUMAN

THE MIRROR

7
SOCIAL MEDIA SANITY

FEELING GOOD

Hey there!
I’m Belinda Jay. Founder of School of Stuff That Matters.
I started this whole thing because I found myself saying things like ‘I wish they’d taught me that at school’ ALL the time. I am a teacher, youth mentor, mother of 3 teenage boys and have done mega amounts of professional and personal development.
I truly believe that most of my issues as a teen stemmed from low self esteem (undiagnosed because I appeared, oh-so confident!) I’ve gone ahead and put everything I’ve learned about being human into of ACTION based learning. Anyone can read some stuff or watch a YouTube video but unless you DO the work and put it into ACTION nothing will change.
I've been creating online courses since 2014 and teaching for 20 years. I know what works and how to get the best experience and outcomes for my students. It's what I am here to do.
